SUBSCRIBER.
The general license bill Is. r. 50 goes
into effect ninety days after its passage.
We haze not before Us a copyo of the bill ~
il WAS passed, but the State tax has been
increased, Stating from the best informa-
ton we have at hand, the tax on every
State retail license to sell spirituOus liqu-
OTIS, wines, porter, ale, beer and drinks OF
like nature has been increased from $50
To $3.50. No person having such license to
sell ut retail, shall sell or deliver, by viz
tue thereof, more than five gallons at a
time, and the sale and delivery Of more
than five gallons at q time shall be deemed
a sale without license.
The small diStillers throughout the State
constituting the fifth class Those manu-.
featuring not more than 1000 barrels an
nuallyl must pay au annual tax OF $50 as
manufacturers and 800 for the privilege
OF selling in quantities of not less than
five gallons at a time.
BY ths insertion OF the phrase
ANY other drink that will intoxi-
cate hard cider prohibition is re-
stored. Places where irtoNicauts are sold
contrary to law are declared public nui-
sances and upon the complaint OF any cit.
izen are to be abated by the courts. To
solicit or receive orders for, or to keep for
another is made the same oftense ; sell
ing intOxicants without license.
Another provision of this bill is of much
importance. Every man who is granted a
license to sell spirituous liquors must give
bond with good security
That he will not permit anv person to
drink to intOXication on any premises I'M
der the control Of such applicant; and will
not knowingly sell or furnish any
intoxicating drink to any person
who Is intoxicated at the time, or who Is
known 10 him to ave the habit of drink
ing 10 intoXication, or whom he knows, or
has reason TO believe, is under the age of
twenty.One years; aud that he will not sell
or furnish such drink to any person on
Sunday. And with the further condition,
that he will pay all such damages and
costs rs may he recovered against him by
any person under any of the provisions of
chapter thirty-two of the Code of West
Virginia, as amended. And such appli-
cant, and his securities in said bond, shall
be liable in q suit or suits thereon for the
fine and costs which may be recovered
against him for any Offense under this
chapter which is a violation of any OF the
conditions of said bond, as well as for the
damages hereinbeiOre provided for, until
the penalty of said bond is exhausted"
\ husband, wife, child, or guardian can
serve notice on any person engaged in sell
ing intoxicating liquors not to sell to the
wife, husband, child, parent or ward of
thePersOn serving such notice, and if yet
liquor be sold to such person and he while

eookeoy, and we have been wNited upon
BY walters who have had their training at
the north.
This Indian river country produces the
hest oranges in the world, and the Sena-
torial marty have feasted upon luscious
fruit which they have picked themselves
from the trees. The flesh of these oranges
is solid. They are heavy and sweet, M
they bring big prices in the markets oil the
north. Even in Florida they are IN great
demand. and they are worth 50 a box at
Jacksonville. Many of the growers sell
them here on the trees, and | understand
that most of the product of Florida Is dls-
nosed ofin this way. The greater part OF
the California orange crop IS bought by
Italians on the trees, and Italians, NJ Is
said, control the orange market Of CallOr-
mia as they do that of Italy.
But I started this letter with the growth
Of Florida. 1t is growing rapidly, and Its
nonnlation in 1885 was nearly twice that
ofIS7O IL built more railway track IN
1885 than any other State IN the Union,
and settlements are springing up all along
the lines of the new roads. We found De
tween Sanford and Titusville, to which
noint we came to take the boat a the In
dian river, much cultivated n cleared
land. and | am told that South Florida Is
beginning to he developed by the Cubans,
This part of Florida contains a great graz
ing country, and in ten years S2,5OO,O OO
worth of cattle have been exported from
II Great quantities of il are under water,
and millions OF acres can never be used
OF her millions are being reclaimed, and ol
these I will tell you in a future letter
These regions are to be great sugar pro,
ducing regions of The United States, and
Florida men tell me that most OF u co,
coanuts will in the near future be produced
here. We now import many millions o.
~cocoanuts yearly, and the value OF thest
runs into the millions Of dollars. One
firm in New Orleans imported in 1855 oNel
| 5000. 600 ~cocoanuts, and 100000 are
used in the st. Louis manufactures an
nually.
Pineapples and bananas are also raised
in south Florida, and the future progress:
of this part OF the State is only a matter
of time. .
Add TO the oranges and the great tropi
cal production of south Florida the vege'
table products, amounting to many thou
sands of dollars yearly. the strawberries
| which bring here now twenty-five cents
a quart, and of which the State produced
in 1885 800, 900 quarts, the vast timber
interests of north Florida, and remember
ing that the State is bigger than New
York. with q climate as pleasant as tba'
of the south of France, without the earth
uuakes of the Riviera, and You will fee
that Florida is worth investigation as
place for emigration and residence.

EVERYWHERE we have gone so far we have
found a prepOnderance of nOrthernerS, and
the senators of the party have met old
friends ut nearly every landing. Senator
Palmer has found Michigan men on nearly
every boat, and, so far, the Ohio men who
have shaken the hands of Senators Sher-
man and Henderson. their name has been
legion. Gen. McCOOk has found several
of the old soldiers of his command about
the hotels and on the trains, and one
farmerlike man watched him curiouSly a
long time Mt jacksonville and only learn
ed that it was the general after he had
zone out for a drive. And is that Gen.
McCnok?" said he with an injured air.
IL thought so, but | was afraid | was mis-
taken. | fought under him, aud | want
to see him when ne back
-
There were numerous funny incidents
connected with the trip, and we met queer
characters ut every station. One wa the
postmaster of the town, and a black mus
taChed, black-eyed young fellow OF 33 ac-
coSted Senator Henderson with q hearty
greeting and said: Senator, | admire you
greatly. | have read all your speeches
and | have a stack Of them at home as hg
As a Bible" The Nebraska Senator
bluShed aud was the more surprised when
he found, from the young man quoting
some of his remarks in the Senate, that he
was telling the truth.

THIS big frost cost Florida the greater
part of its orange crop and lost the State
more than 81, 600, 0OO. 1t hurt the bearing
of the trees for this year, and 1t Is appre-
hended by some orange growers that 1t will
take them another year after this before
they fully recover. Ii gave Florida orange
growers a decided set back. aud they have
not as vet reglined their enthusiasm.
Still, orange lands are very high, and they
range i'm the vicinity Of the settlements
from So to 500 IN acre UnimprOved.
Some orange lands are worth $500 an acre,
and there are some, | am told, which could
not be bought for 81, 100 an acre. \ good
grove in bearing will sell for 4 fortune, and
the five acres OK the Spiers grove, which |
spoke OF ~ producing $4,000 worth OF
oranges, is estimated rs being worth $780,
900. ID takes from five TO ten Years to
grow an orange grove, and new groves are
fast coming into bearing. They bear for
generations, and there are good orange
trees which are hundreds OF years old.
Each GOOD tree produces many oranges
sometimes several thousands; and | have
been told that there are trees which pro
duce 1000, 5000 and :, OOn oranges yearly.
At a cent apiece On the tree, which price
cln be usually realized, 1t will be seen that
this is a nice Investment.
The orange industry of Florida has in
creased teniold in five years. In lSS0 on
Is 100 OOO boxes were shipped out of the
State, while in lSSO and l--1 the exports
were LOCO. 900 boxes and their value 81
500, 900. The United States eats, IL IS eS-
timated, 6OO, OOO, 900 OF oranges yearly,
enough to give each man, woman and child
ten oranges, and not more than One-tenth
Of this amount is raised here. The Flort-
da oranges are better than any other, and
Florida will one day supply tie country.
As to the profits ut oranG raising per
acre, it is estimated that an average acre
planted in oranges produces, when well
taken care of. 1900 per acre, or 10 times
more than an average acre of cotton, 81
times the value OF au acre OF wheat aud -
times the value of on acre OF corn, csti-
mating 80 bushels OF corn Ia the acre and
~ bushels of wheat.

The Indian river country, on the east
coast OF Florida, iSanOther splendid orange
raising region and at one OF the hotels
where we stopped, the Indian River hotel,
at ROckledge, We found a wire basket
holding two bushels Of oranges ON the
counter, and a placard over it labeled,
Exclusively for the use of our guests"
This basket is kept always full, Ind it is
free to all who stop ut the hotel. The
hackwardnesS of Florida in manufacturing
is shown in the fact hat most of the boxes
in which this immense crop OF oranges is
sent north are brought here from Maine.
They are brought in pieces ready to he
nailed together, and are sent north again
filled with fruit. We saw bales of these
boxes on some of the wharveS, and saw the
negroes picking the oranges and packing
them away for market.

Al Sanford we found the found the big
rest town on the st. Johns above Jack
sonsyille. Ii has five railroads and about
2 900 people. 1t is on the beautiful Lake
Monroe, into which the river expands at
this point, and is in the center OF a nch
orange growing territory. Lake Monroe
makes one think Of the Mediterranean
near Alexandria, and one has to shut his
ewes and reason to convince himself that
he is still in the United States. The pal
mettos rising from the islands Of the lake,
in the distance, look like a view OF the
African shores, and the sky and the sun
and the whole aspect OF nature is tropical,
This lake is twelve miles long and five
miles wide. Its banks are dotted with
settlements, and the banana, the lemon
and the Orange grow upon it.
We visited the orange grove OF q MIR.
BOdine, of New York, at Enterprise, on
Lake Monroe, from whence WI took the
cars for Indian river, and picked the golden
balls of luscious fruit from their green
leaves with our own hands. Some Of the
trees, we were told, yielded rs much as
so worth of fruit every year, and l have
heard of orange trees which yield from
S75 to 800 worth of fruit annually. A
good orange grove in Florida is indeed a
fortune. Five acres i'll bearing is enough
to keep a man from want, and there is =
five and one-half acre grove here at Sand,
ford which produces from $4,000 to $l2,-
600 worth of oranges yearly. 1t is famous,
and is known as the Spiers grove. In
ISS6, Just before the big frost, some Balti'
more fruit dealers called upon its owners
and offered them $l2, 900 for the oranges
on the trees as they then stood. They re-
fused, intending TO market them them,
selves and expecting TO net Sl5,OOO Two
weeks later the big frost came, and they
lost almost their entire crop. Their gross
receipts were, l understand, only S2Ot
or $500.

This Indian river Is said 10 be the
StraighteSt body of water in the world. \
straight line can be drawn through seven
ty-ive miles of its couTse without touching
either shore. 1t is on the eastern coast of
Florida and isa wide arm of the sea, which
is separated from the Atlantic by q narrow
strip of land from half a mile to three
miles in width. This strip of land contains
some excellent orange soil, and this Is
worth in n wild state, | am told, $500 per
acre. The river is salt water, aud it
abOundS in game and fish. We saw nun
dreds of ducks in our sail mp 20 Rockledge,
and at times these were 80 tame that they
could have been shot from the steamers
deck. The best of this land here is already
taken, snd we found prosperous groves and
big winter hotels everywhere. 1t seems
strange here, 1000 miles from New York,
to find hotels as good rs those at Saratoga
or Long Branch, and stranger still to find
them filed with well dressed men and
women who have come here for comfort
during the winter just rs they would go to
the Seashore for the summer. Here al the
Indian river l found rooms heated
by steam, great parlors carpeted
and elegantly furnished, with
veranGas, billiard rooms, and all the COM
forts Of the great American hotel. 1t is
the same everywhere We have gone. Our
palates have been tickled with French
